According to The Sydney Morning Herald, she was in her Edgecliff apartment on February 6 1986, when at 10:55pm, she received a phone call. The call was from convicted drug dealer Warren Richards, a known associate of Roger Rogerson. She told her housemate she'd return in 5 to ten minutes.

Her body was found at 8:45am the next morning, face down in Busby's Pond in Sydney's Centennial Park.

That was more than thirty years ago. The killer, or killers, are yet to be brought to justice.

"The three blokes who I'm told are responsible for it are still up bright and walking around", says McNab.

And that thought is slightly terrifying.

However a Supreme Court decision made in June last year brought some deal of closure to Huckstepp's family. Despite the fact no one has been convicted of her murder, Roger Caleb Rogerson was sentenced for the murder of University of Technology Sydney (UTS) student Jamie Gao.

The downfall of Roger Rogerson - the once hailed detective-sergeant who hid from the law in plain sight - a downfall Sallie-Anne Huckstepp kickstarted with her interview, was complete.

And with that, she was vindicated. Her controversial view of law enforcement; her outlandish claims against Rogerson; ultimately, her death. Absolved.
